I must be old. I remember when Bryant Gumbel held that title. In fact, I still remember that class in college 22 years that somehow devolved into all the African-American students saying that they really didn’t consider Bryant Gumbel to be black. Our professor, also African-American, was dumbfounded: “But…but…he’s black, y’all!”

(I hope none of those classmates reads this site because they might figure out who I am.)

This man is another one who gets a pass from me. From “Roots” to “Reading Rainbow” to Star Trek” there’s just too much awesome in this man’s career to lump him in with the assholes I make fun of on a daily basis.

I know, right! Those Hollywood liberals are so in the tank for the Democrats. Plus his being a PBS children’s programming star means he was probably all over that “don’t fire Big Bird” shi—ohhhhh, you mean because he’s black.
